If auto-connect is off, we'll rely on the old "page load to spawn inbox check" method. If auto-connect is on, we're going to be using the auto-connect admin option to manually ping the IMAP inbox from the admin settings page. This will prevent duplicate IMAP connections from occurring and will also workaround using wp_remote_post() to spawn the inbox check. This logic will be added in subsequent commits. See #40.

… enabled. If IMAP mode is selected and if "Automatically reconnect?" is checked and if we are not connected to the inbox, a "Connect" button will appear in the "Connection Info" block. Clicking on this button will connect to the IMAP inbox. See #40.

… fetch the error. In order to fetch the error, we need to revoke the IMAP connection to grab the error for output. See #40.

…l we've finished connecting. In cases where the IMAP connection check is taking awhile, this commit ensures that we keep checking the connection status until the connection check is completed. See #40.

…ession. This only occurs if a 3rd-party plugin is opening a PHP session with session_start() without closing the session properly. What happens if the session isn't closed is all subsequent AJAX responses and browser requests will hang since our IMAP inbox check is still running in the background. Thanks to this Stack Overflow article for helping me out: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9906646 If you wrote a plugin that does this, you are forever on my naughty list. Thanks for wasting my precious time! See #40.

…connection is down. When auto-connect is enabled, there are occasions where the IMAP connection can be disconnected such as if GMail is acting up or if the server that WordPress is hosted on is down. When this happens, the IMAP connection needs to be reinitiated from the RBE admin settings page since IMAP connections can only be initiated from the admin area when the auto-connect option is on. To counteract this, this commit adds an hourly check to see if the IMAP connection is active. If not connected, an email is sent to the site admin by default to prompt the person to re-enable the IMAP connection on the RBE admin settings page. A filter exists to change the email recipients. See #40.

Previously, our cron event was only scheduled when connecting to the IMAP inbox on the initial connection. However, if our IMAP connection ever dies, our cron event is never rescheduled, so admins would never know if the IMAP connection needs to be restarted or not. This commit always checks to register our cron event to ensure admins can restart the IMAP connection when needed. See #40.

A connection button on the admin settings page would help in invoking the IMAP connection instead of relying on a pageload to trigger the IMAP connection.
